About NewLake Capital Partners, Inc.

NewLake Capital Partners, Inc. (ticker NLCP) is a U.S.-based specialty real estate investment trust focused on providing real estate capital to state-licensed cannabis operators. The company was formed on April 9, 2019, in Maryland, originally under the name GreenAcreage Real Estate Corp., and it operates from New Canaan, Connecticut. For investors, it is important to note that NLCP is not a NYSE/NASDAQ-listed name in the materials reviewed; the company’s investor materials identify it as trading on OTCQX. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1854964/000185496425000004/nlcp-20241231.htm?utm_source=openai)) NLCP’s business model is straightforward but highly specialized. It is an internally managed, triple-net lease REIT that acquires industrial and retail properties and leases them to cannabis operators through sale-leaseback transactions, third-party purchases, and build-to-suit projects. In practical terms, NewLake converts real estate into long-duration rental income, while the tenants retain responsibility for most operating expenses under triple-net structures. This makes the company a financing partner for a sector that often has constrained access to traditional bank credit in the United States. ([ir.newlake.com](https://ir.newlake.com/company-information?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, NewLake occupies a niche within U.S. listed real estate rather than competing head-on with diversified REITs. Its edge lies in sector expertise, underwriting discipline, and the ability to transact with cannabis operators that need real estate capital. The flip side is concentration risk: the portfolio is tied to one regulated industry, so tenant performance, state-level cannabis policy, and broader capital-market conditions can have an outsized impact on results. The company’s filings emphasize that its tenants operate in the cannabis industry and that the portfolio is geographically concentrated in U.S. states where cultivation and dispensing are permitted. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1854964/000185496425000004/nlcp-20241231.htm?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, NLCP is focused entirely on the United States, with properties spread across multiple cannabis-legal states. The asset base includes cultivation facilities and dispensaries, which gives the REIT exposure to both production and retail parts of the supply chain. This provides some diversification within a single theme, but it remains a relatively narrow investment universe compared with mainstream industrial or retail REITs.

In March 2025, NewLake reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 results and declared a first-quarter 2025 cash dividend of $0.43 per share, bringing the annualized dividend to $1.70 per share, an 8.3% increase versus 2023. During 2024, the company also announced a $16 million Connecticut investment, underscoring that it continues to pursue selective growth even in a challenging cannabis operating environment. For French-, Belgian-, and Swiss-based investors, NLCP represents a specialized U.S. real estate income story with potentially attractive yield characteristics, but with meaningful regulatory and tenant-concentration risk.
